Just one question though, and forgive me for being so stupid, but what information exactly does that 'biometric chip' contain? My understanding of biometrics is that they describe attributes of your biological make up such as fingerprints, DNA, Iris scans etc. Given that I just filled in a form with the usual stuff, they have none of those details so how can it be a biometric passport?
Didn't you notice the short sharp shock of the anal probe as it scraped off a DNA sample - you should be more wary!Comment

So someone who survived the Holocaust would have to answer YES to both questions, i.e.
B) Yes, I was arrested for being Jewish (or left winged, a trade union representative, a Jehovah’s Witness, or disabled, or Russian as the case may be) while in Germany.
C) Yes, I was one of the people being persecuted/a member of the resistance.

I was looking for the sane side of town. I’d ask you for directions, but I have a feeling you’ve never been there and I’d be wasting my time.Comment
